BOXING AND MIXED MARTIAL ARTS “FINDS A WAY” THROUGH THE PANDEMIC AND INTO THE FUTURE
The Utah Professional Athletic Commission Act was passed by the Legislature in July 2001, granting authority to the commission to regulate “unarmed combat sports” in the Beehive State. This law requires licensing of promoters, managers, contestants, seconds referees, and judges for boxing, kickboxing, and mixed martial arts. The commission is named in honor of Utah State Senator Eliud “Pete” Suazo, an advocate for youth and minorities and a boxing enthusiast.
Utah native “The Cyclone” Gene Fullmer defeated champion boxer Sugar Ray Robinson by unanimous decision in January 1957 to capture the National Boxing Association world middleweight title. His brother, Doug Fullmer, followed him into the sport. Doug fought as an amateur for four years and went on a 65-match winning streak. The spirit of the “Fighting Fullmers” lives on at their gym in West Jordan, which has sent many boxers to the USA Boxing National Championships in recent years.
